Re: Carole Thatchter
From what I understand she only said that his hair looked like a Golliwogs ...not exactly calling him one. There is a slight difference to me.
We know that there is controversy over this word now, so she should really have been careful, however, these dolls are widely on sale now under names such as Jolly Gollies and Gollidolls (go along Blackpool front). If she had said his hair looks like a Golly, would it have made a difference ? It is the last three letters that are deemed offensive.
As other members have said these dolls are bought by mostly white children to love and caress, not to stick pins in them.
